Nomenclature

The nomenclature for most of the plant taxa is consistent with current usage at the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney. Exotic or non-indigenous taxa are prefixed with an asterisk. The nomenclature for the rainforest taxa follows that of the latest edition of the following publications, namely "Rainforest trees and shrubs : a field guide to their identification in Victoria, New South Wales and subtropical Queensland using vegetative features and Rainforest climbing plants : a field guide to their identification in Victoria, New South Wales and subtropical Queensland using vegetative features (Gwen Harden, Bill McDonald, John Williams ; illustrator Gwen Harden)".

All orchid taxa follows the nomenclature contained in "Australian Orchid Genera: An Information and Identification System by Australian Orchid Genera: (Jones, Hopley, Duffy, Richards, Clements and Zhang 2006) ".

The fauna taxa follows the nomenclature used by The Wildlife Atlas (Bionet) maintained by the Department of Environment and Climate Change and Bird Life Australia.
